The reasonable man quite ordinarily overlooks the fact that people
from 2.0 down have no traffic with reason and cannot be reasoned with
as one would reason with a 3.0. There are only two answers for the
handling of people from 2.0 down on the
tone scale,
neither one of which has anything to do with reasoning with them or
listening to their justification of their acts. The first is to raise
them on the tone scale by
un-enturbulating
some of their
theta
by any one of the
three valid processes.
The other is to dispose of them quietly and without
sorrow. Adders are safe bedmates compared to people on the
lower bands of the tone scale. Not all the beauty nor the
handsomeness nor artificial social value nor property can atone for
the vicious damage such people do to sane men and women. The
sudden and abrupt deletion of all individuals occupying the
lower bands of the tone scale from the social order would result in
an almost instant rise in the cultural tone and would interrupt the
dwindling spiral into which any society may have entered. It is not
necessary to produce a world of clears in order to have a reasonable
and worthwhile social order; it is only necessary to
delete those individuals who range from 2.0 down,
either by processing them enough to get their tone level above the
2.0 line — a task which, indeed, is not very great, since the
amount of processing in many cases might be under fifty hours,
although it might also in others be in excess of two hundred —
or simply quarantining them from the society. A
Venezuelan dictator
[Juan Vincente Gomez ]
once decided to stop leprosy. He saw that most lepers in his country
were also beggars. By the simple expedient of collecting and
destroying all the beggars in Venezuela an end was put to leprosy in
that country.

An alternate version of the Venezuelan dictator story appears in
Professional Auditor's Bulletin No.13, "On Human
Behaviour". It is often used by Scientologists to show L. Ron
Hubbard didn't really mean what he said about "dispos[ing] of them
quietly and without sorrow", instead he is "merely giving you a
historical note". However, Hubbard's antipathy toward
undesirables is quite pronounced: he considers them more
dangerous even than poisonous snakes. His choice of the words
dispose and delete suggests something more sinister
than, as some parishioners have argued, simply denying further Church
services to misbehaving Scientologists. Hubbard was a professional
author, after all, and presumably chose his words purposefully.

Now and then some violent man in one country or another has
undertaken programmes to rid a society of these points of contagion.
Kings in olden times handled the problem by decapitating people who
continually brought them bad news — this was a very wise
measure. In more recent times it has been said that Gomez, late
dictator of Venezuela, discovered that the contagion point of leprosy
in the country was the beggar. He found that the beggars of Venezuela
were using leprosy in order to beg. People would pay in order to have
the ugly thing taken away from them (the basic philosophy of the
beggar is to be paid to go away). Gomez had the beggars told that
they were going to be taken to a very fruitful part of Venezuela and
given a colony of their own; he had them collected on a river bank
and loaded aboard two large river boats. The river boats proceeded
into mid-stream, their crews left them in skiffs and the boats blew
up with a resounding explosion. This was the end of leprosy in
Venezuela. I am not telling you this to advocate the immediate
slaughter of the "merchants of fear"; I am merely giving you a
historical note.

Hubbard was entirely without sympathy for both those afflicted with
leprosy and the otherwise healthy but
"down-stat"
individuals who were merely unavoidable collateral damage.

While it is debatable whether Hubbard wanted to exterminate
undesirables, as some critics suggest, it is perfectly clear he meant to
physically separate them from society. Did he have in mind reservations
or internment camps? There is no way of knowing, though his writings
certainly suggest such "solutions"
[emphasis added].

Such people should be taken from the society as rapidly as possible
and uniformly institutionalized
…
No social order which desires to survive dares overlook its stratum
of 1.1's. No social order will survive which does not remove
these people from its midst.
…
The only answers would seem to be the permanent
quarantine of such persons from society to avoid the
contagion of their insanities and the general turbulence which they
bring to any order, thus forcing it lower on the scale, or processing
such persons until they have attained a level on the tone scale which
gives them value.

Low-toned people, such as "1.1s" ("covert hostility"), have little
value, which makes it easier to "dispose of them quietly and without
sorrow".

The Church of Scientology's ultimate goal is to take over and rule the
world according to Scientology principles.

The most alarming aspect of Scientology is the barely concealed
thrust towards world domination. Sea Org members are told that
when World War Three finally happens, they will be the only
group which is well enough organized to take over. At various times
Hubbard and his followers have courted different governments —
in the 1960s in Rhodesia (for which he wrote a
proposed Constitution),
and in Greece (with the would-be University of Philosophy in Corfu);
in the 1970s in Morocco and later Mexico, where members of the
government opposition travelled to Florida for counselling. China and
several African nations have been approached, with offers of help
with educational policy. Ron Hubbard would have liked to rule the
world. He believed, and said, that benevolent dictatorship is the
best political system, and saw himself as the only natural candidate.
His successors possibly suffer from the same conceit.

This is the primary reason that the
German government
considers Scientology a threat to the constitutional order.

The decisive factor behind the decision to put Scientology under
surveillance in 1997 was a legal opinion by an intelligence service
task force, which had been ordered by the ministers of the interior's
conference the year before. This rather dry report is based mainly on
writings by Hubbard and Scientology, and examines whether these
writings match the provisions of the federal law on the protection of
the constitution…. The case in point, however, is not that
statements such as granting civil rights and citizenship in the
future to non-'aberrated' persons only would show that Hubbard
intended Scientologists to discriminate against particular
individuals and groups in an elitist manner that is incompatible with
democracy. Discrimination by private parties against third parties
does not endanger the constitutional order. What is taken to be
anti-constitutional about the above statement is that i[t]
presupposes the abolition of the basic elements of the current
constitutional order as well as the legal system and the universal
validity of human rights. This matches with plans stated in internal
papers of Scientology to implement Scientology's jurisdiction in
society. In this manner, the report analyzes the potential political
consequences should Scientology establish its ideal society (Schoen
2002: 107).

Hubbard's intention for Scientology to "rule the world" is mentioned
frequently in his writings and lectures, and his attitude towards those
who will not accept Scientology is openly hostile.

Perhaps at some distant date only the unaberrated person will be
granted civil rights before law. Perhaps the goal will be reached at
some future time when only the unaberrated person can attain to and
benefit from citizenship. These are desirable goals…

-L. Ron Hubbard, Dianetics, Book 3, Chapter 10

If you were to weed out of your past by proper search and discovery
those anti-social persons you have known and if you disconnected, you
might experience great relief. Similarly, if society were to
recognise this personality as a sick being, as they now isolate
people with smallpox, both social and economic recoveries could
occur. Things are not going to get much better so long as 20% of the
population is permitted to dominate and injure the lives and
enterprise of the remaining 80%.

In the fields of government, police activities and mental health, to
name a few, we see that it is important to be able to detect and
isolate this personality type so as to protect society and
individuals from the destructive consequences upon letting such have
free rein to injure others. As they only comprise 20% of the
population and as only 2.5% of this 20% are truly dangerous, we see
that with a very small amount of effort we could considerably better
the state of society.

-L. Ron Hubbard,
HCOPL
27 September 1966

…any person from 2.0 down on the tone scale should not have,
in any thinking society, any civil rights of any kind.

-L. Ron Hubbard, Science of Survival, part I,
page 131

Somebody some day will say "this is illegal". By then be sure the
orgs say what is legal or not.

-L. Ron Hubbard, HCOPL 4 January 1966

You want to know what happens when you clear everybody in that
neighbourhood, the only thing that [Scientology] center can become
used for is a political center. Because by the time you've done all
this, you are the government…
